SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN EARLY ASIAN GLASS

摘要

Except for the pioneering work of a few archaeological chemists like Prof. Kazuo Yamasaki, serious scientific research on the ancient glass of Asia began only about fifteen years ago. At the 1984 International Symposium on Glass in Beijing, several sessions were devoted to scientific investigations of ancient Chinese glass [1], and since then, in addition to work on Chinese and Japanese glass, research on Asian glass in general has flourished.
